Everyone was impressed with SVB's convincing victory over Corey playing 10-ball. Any thoughts of having a rematch with Corey playing 9-ball? Just thought I'd stick that one out there. SVB IS the world 10-ball champ, so I don't think it was much of a stretch to believe he could win.

Would anyone else want to see the two play 9-ball?
 
IMO, NOBODY could beat Shane at 10 ball OR 9 ball if he plays like he did Friday and Saturday. If anything, he would have had a slightly more convincing victory at 9 ball against Corey.
 
I Disagree...

You cannot compare the match with 9-ball, I watched every game and was totally impressed with the awesome display of offense and defense but we do not know what would happen in 9-ball. Corey could not compete with Shane's incredible break, Corey could not make enough balls on the break to string racks, he may be able to do that in 9-ball.

I sure would like to see Shane and Corey play a 9-ball match and then a one pocket match race to 25. I have been lucky enough to watch them both in person play and they are both incredibly talented and fun to watch.

Take Care

I have a question

Does Shane and Corey get a cut of the pay per view or the CD?
 
I would love to see them play 9 ball. I to think that the break was coreys weakness and that would be totally different with 9 ball. sign me up to watch every minute of that one too!
 
Does anyone want to buy the Diamond 9ft ProAm table they played on? I'll be picking it up to take it back to the factory around the end of this month, but could deliver it somewhere else if arraigned.

Some people just can't accept defeat. A 9-ball match would look pretty much the same. And you're crazy if you think Shane would play one-pocket with Corey. Shane needs weight in that game. I don't think I've ever even heard of Shane playing one-pocket.

If they played 9-ball, I would take Corey with 29 on the wire.
 
It would smack of sour grapes no matter how it's put together, and 10-ball is the best game in the rotation category IMO. :cool:
 
SVB played strong real strong

I do not think 10 or 9 woul dbe much different

One pocket might be something different, race to 25 would take a while
 
Shane is a whole new breed of monster. About 3 or 4 years ago, Shane barked a little at Corey (and everyone else sitting at the table). Nobody wanted any part of it. In fact, Corey didn't say a word. I can understand. It's tough when some kid calls you out with 15 grand of his own cash. His confidence is like nothing I've ever seen. "Bet on me all night, this guy can't win." Those were his exact words before he played Orcollo.

You guys can make all the excuses you want. You think his break was working? THAT IS HIS BREAK. I've never seen anyone with such a tremendous break. The kid is in a completely different galaxy.

I don't care what game they were playing (except 1P). With the # of dogged balls that Corey piled up he would lose in any rotation game playing shane. That boy is a ball pocketing machine and breaks great. It is funny that in the age of dedicated break cues and rail breaking he lines up with his player from the box and kills the rack. I am more impressed with his game now than I have ever been. I knew he was becoming the man to beat, I just didn't know he already was.

Let's just all remember that it may be a different story when someone is firing back.

Shane played awesome and stayed focused. He kept the pressure on Corey like he should've. But Corey didn't step up - didn't change his break until late in the match, didn't put any heat on Shane.

It's likely that Orcullo, or Efren, or Bustamante won't dog it like that and will fire right back at Shane.

It's more fair to say that any player would have a hard time against Shane when Shane plays as he did.

I agree, it would have been very interesting to see how Shane responded if Corey took the lead and strung 7-8 racks together. Unfortunately, Corey never had enough momentum to take the lead and we didn't get to see Shane's heart.

With Earl and Efren, we got to see the meltdown take place as Efren started steaming like a freight train, closing the gap. When he caught Earl, you knew that he gave up.
 
I would watch the two play either game again. It almost seems like people are forgetting Corey's true form. I'm not taking anything away from Shane, he played world class and deserved his victory. It's just that we have all seen Corey play unbeatable pool many more times than we've seen him play as he did this weekend. If Corey had been able to string 10-12 racks together as many times as he is capable of, it would've been a much different story. But he didn't, so it wasn't. Put Shane up against someone who WILL, and thngs will be different. I still wouldn't bet against him right now, but he wouldn't win by 30 racks.
 
I agree that Shane played awesome...

and stuck it to Corey. I do not believe anyone did not accept defeat, I actually bet on Shane and won money on the match. Howver, you cannot just assume that 9-ball would be the same. The only way to know is if they play, I sure wish they would play a 9-ball race, I would pay double what I paid for the 10-ball, I felt like I was stealing being able to watch that incredible display of pool right he in my living room for only 10 dollars:D :D :D
 
I was watching the match live last night -- and was so focused on watching the play that I missed some of the commentating, but some people in the chat room told me that Incardona said that he would favor Shane over ANYONE in 10-ball. I want to know if he really said that.

The way Shane played was awesome - and he deserved to win. Corey didn't seem to be on his game, but I'm not sure that would have made the difference in who won the match.

As far as Shane being the favorite against anyone in the world... I'd have to think that Busta is the favorite, and Efren as well - but his break leaves me with a little doubt in the 10-ball area.

Then again, I have only seen this kid play like 40/50 racks of pool and only one day... that's not enough for me to get a real gage of his speed... but it was enough to open my eyes and want to keep a look out on him.

This would be Shane's second 10-ball victory in the last couple months. Remember the last one? The entire field consisted of world beaters and Shane was the last man standing. My money's on Shane (9-ball or 10-ball). The worst I've seen him play was the enjoypool championship. And for some reason I think he either threw the tournament or was just nervous about being on tv for the first time. Either way, I doubt that'll happen again.

You MUST be kidding! :eek: He finished 2nd...that is hardly 'throwing' the tournament, nor playing poorly. I know Shane, and he has far too much class to dump ANY match. I also talked to him just before the match with Orcullo. He wasn't nervous in any way, shape or form. Dennis just played better that match...
